Cape Barren The Vale Shiraz 2021

Only eighteen barrels of this fine McLaren Vale Shiraz are made, from this stellar vintage. Under diam. The colour is a deep maroon/red, while the nose is chock full of mulberries, blackcurrants, cloves, bergamot, florals, beef stock, raspberries, florals, miso and aniseed. The oak is in the process of integration and doing well. Supple, intense, finely balanced and with bright acidity, there are fine though noticeable tannins and the finish lingers and lingers. Very attractive and should remain so for the next eight to twelve years.
